Interesting.
There is a specific rule in the C++ specification to address temporaries:
they should live up until the end of the full expression they are part of.
I suppose that to suppose this case Rust might need the same rule and then
determine that "for .... { }" is a single expression.
It seems feasible (and maybe partly addressed already) however I cannot
help but point out that I regularly see issues related to this popping on
the Clang list and commits to fix it "a bit more", apparently it's quite a
nest of vipers and has ripple effects on implementing pretty much any other
feature of the language.
